Here’s what you won’t hear from some commentators on social media: in the year to October, London recorded 10,000 fewer violent crimes leading to injury than it did in the twelve months before I was elected. More on the progress we’re making ⬇️ www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I have not seen such a generalized embrace of simple and explicit xenophobia in my lifetime

“I can’t say it impacts me." Ancient British proverb.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

At a rugby club in small-town Leicestershire. This was on the window ledge in the toilet. Fearing the worst, I scanned the QR & opened it in an incognito window… It’s a link to Amnesty International’s explainer on asylum & refugees 😍

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Hey, @sonyaoldssom.bsky.social you are a diamond! Thank you for always sharing and reposting.

I absolutely loved writing about Muddy Waters and I’d love you to have a read.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

I think Monday may be the day I finally write to my Labour MP and inform them of their spinelessness and stupidity.

My next book is:

So, I finished this amazing piece of work.

4. Much like the stories of Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin five years earlier, the McDonogh Three's story has been buried into history. But here's the thing: All four of these women are still alive, including Ruby Bridges. But it just goes to show that if we neglect our stories, they disappear

The last sentence. Just beyond belief.

What a fucking album.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

I think a lot about the interview with one of Kevin Spacey’s victims, assaulted at 15 when Spacey was 35, who said that when he turned 35 himself he deliberately tried to see if he could look at a 15yo and feel desire, but couldn’t. he was like “that’s a baby.” that’s when it finally really sunk in

My essay on the great Wilson Pickett was published in the catalog of this Muscle Shoals exhibit opening today in Nashville. Researching and writing about the Wicked One was so cool 😎 For more on the exhibition please check out the story below. @mojomagazine.bsky.social @hearingthingsco.bsky.social

I also wrote about Musiq’s debut album.

I wrote this about Erykah’s wondrous second album a few years ago. Still my favourite I’d say.

Tax the rich.

A timeline cleanser: My recent newsletter is about rise of "repair cafes" around the world, where communities come together to fix each other's beloved things. The goal: reduce consumer waste, and maybe make some buddies in the process 🔧👭 insideclimatenews.org/news/1111202...

This is a BIG reason I wrote Burn It Down. I was v tired of doing One Bad Man stories & wanted to shout from the rooftops that every He's Just One Bad Man is NOT a one-off--each 1 is propped up by multiple interlocking systems of enabling, protection & even celebration. The SYSTEMS are def evergreen

Probably no biggie that 8 days before his arrest (thus, 5wks before his death) Epstein emailed himself a horde of names headed "list for bannon steve" which is absolutely not a blackmail list and simply features dozens of his known associates, not only beginning with Mandelson but listing him twice.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Holy shit. How?!

Peter Thiel is in the Epstein emails, enjoying himself. Peter Thiel is an overt, convinced, outspoken Nazi. Peter Thiel's company is being paid by the UK government to crawl all over YOUR personal data. Oswald Mosley's grandson runs his UK operation. You can't make it up.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

One for the Brits. Epstein wrote a list of names for Steve Bannon. The first one on it is Mandelson

In case folks are distracted by the crazy pedo news cycle, which is crazy but not surprising, it is important to pay attention to this. Because folks: The planet is burning www.theguardian.com/environment/...
